The right-footed Boulnemour made all eight of his point-after attempts and nailed a 36-yard field goal to help the West team clobber the East, 59-7, at Alma College’s Bahlke Field.

“Yeah, it was exhausting by the end of the game, but there was a lot of adrenaline going through me,” Boulnemour said in a phone interview.

The 6-foot, 175-pounder saw the field more than even the West defense, it seemed. Portage Central’s Kyle Knapp started on the defensive line and Schoolcraft’s Bryan Jones started at safety for the West contain unit, which shut down the East all day.

"(Boulnemour) was on the field more than I was today. It was crazy," the 6-4, 275-pound Knapp said via phone, as he was making the seven-hour car ride with his family from Alma at Syracuse University, where he has signed and will play offensive line.

The West, which set a record for points scored by one team in the All-Star Game, outgained the East in total yards, 461-78. The West held the East to 24 rushing yards in the running-clock win.

Centreville’s Toby Koenig was the West team’s punter, hitting a 43-yarder in the third quarter in his only action of the game.

The game was televised live on Fox Sports Detroit.

“We were expecting (the domination),” said Jones, a hard-hitting 6-2, 210-pounder,who will play at Saginaw Valley State University. “We knew what plays they were running, so we knew we could stop them. I thought their plays were pretty predictable.

"It was really fun, meeting all the guys and having all these new coaches. It was a great time up here. It was a lot of fun.”

Boulnemour was the game’s leading scorer until Shane Barron (Flint Carman-Ainsworth) made his second touchdown reception of the day with 3:17 remaining.

Boulnemour was 4-for-4 on PATs in the first half, when he also snuck a field goal inside the right upright to give the West a 31-7 lead 59 seconds before the break.

On Saturday, he drove all 10 of his kickoffs inside or near the 10-yard line, his ninth nearly sailing through the end zone and covering about 75 yards.

“Yeah, I wasn’t hitting it very good all day (on kickoffs), but I turned to my coach and said, ‘Coach, this is going through,’” Boulnemour said. “I hit it as hard as I could and it went.”

WMU baseball recruit Hunter Prince (Hudsonville) played tight end for the West team. Prince also participated in Tuesday’s Michigan High School Baseball Coaches Association East-West All-Star Classic at Comerica Park, won 16-6 by the West.

West quarterback Cooper Rush, a Central Michigan University recruit, was named MVP of the all-star football game. Rush passed for 241 yards and four TDs. Rush’s 95-yard scoring pass to Barron also set an all-star game record.

"It was really cool, a really fun stage, playing on TV and everything," said Knapp, who begins classes at Syracuse on Monday. "Some of these kids, they've played in the state championship and have been on TV.

"I couldn't have asked to have been with a better group of guys."

Boulnemour roomed all week with Mason running back Saylor Lavallii, who is CMU-bound.

“We pretty much said on day one, ‘We’re here together, so we can pretty much hate each other after (the week),’” Boulnemour said with a laugh. “He’s a great guy, too, not just a great football player.

“It was great. I mean, my memories through the whole week, in the dorm and everything – to top it off (with a dominating win and big performance), that was great, too.”
